An Author PAR thoughts


Hi Friends,
Well creating a Portrait is half the work done. Expressions through Words gives it "Direction". Direction is the way you wish your viewers to think about your work. Its the Lamp to light up the path for the aesthetics--the path that you tread while creating the Painting. For My painting of Liberation (Soon to be Exhibited), I complimented it with my ideas through my Book

"അറിവില്‍ നിന്ന് മോചനം "(Liberation from Knowledge)




The Book was published at Kollam Arts & Sports Club in presence of many a dignitaries. But about that later...

My New Found Passion

Hi Friends,
MUSIC is divine since it touches your soul. Music in any form, Classical including Hindustani & Karnatic, Western including all forms of Jazz, Pop, Rock to Heavy Metal relaxes every cell of the body. Well singing a song may not be everyone's cup of tea but then what are musical instruments for??
Instruments reflect your moods, your feelings, the subtle vibrations of your mind. You express yourselves through instruments. You become one with it and so its your own music your singing that flows through the instrument.
My passion for a Mridangam got wings when my Son(s) presented me with a Mridangam on my 59th Birthday. My Listening and God given ability to learn new things formed my GURU for my passion.

My curiosity breezed me through the Ragas, Taalams and Kaalams of Music. It tickled my Brain cells about the evolution of Music. How people coined the Swaras.....the primitive swaras of सा,रे,गा,माँ,प्,ध,नि,सा and how it delved into different Pitches.....interesting to note the निश्चला/Non-changing Raagas(we all strive for a mind to be one).
